@Strawberry1139 Those people in the film all are dead now.No,I wouldn't want to be alive then coz many in the USA were going thru the Great Depression,everyone was poor.Then we entered that mess of WW2,we came out of the Depression.

@Strawberry1139 I always thought it would be the other way around. Seems that society as a whole was much more strict and unforgiving of differences in people.
